Birth control, it says take at the same time every day, does it have to be exactly on the dot?

It has to be around the same time.....otherwise you'll be in trouble if you know what I mean.Birth control, it says take at the same time every day, does it have to be exactly on the dot?
The closer you can get it to the same time each day is best. The pill lasts for 24 hours and to prevent a hormone change it is recommended that you take it at the same time. This way you maintain the same hormone level and are less likely to get pregnant.Birth control, it says take at the same time every day, does it have to be exactly on the dot?
It means at least within the hour.
No. Four hours either side should be perfectly OK... but not longer.





The reason it's suggested that you take it at the same time every day is that this quickly becomes such a strong habit that you're unlikely to forget one once you've been taking them for a while.
